Nocturnal Entertainment

As day closes its pastel curtains,
In preparation on Nature’s stage.
The curtains reopen as earth darkens,
For the next act...

The stage is set for a dark play,
As the actors shimmer in the sky.
The moon takes the stage,
Interacting with the shadows.

Reciting sonnets of soft moonlight,
Radiating romance through the cricket crowd.
The coyotes howl for an encore,
As the act goes into intermission,
To set the stage for day...
